Wireless Network Printing Solution

Yesterday I discoverd a solution that allows you to set up a HP Photosmart C7200 Series (Model Number: SDGOB-0713) on a wireless network... This is related to an issue we had printing from an iMac, MacBook Pro and a Mac mini to two different identical HP C7200 printers.
We found that if you plugged both the printer and the Mac's directly into the network (no wireless involved) you can successfully auto detect the printer with a Bonjour option and an HP IP option, Note: prevously we couldn't detect it at all. Then we installed both print queue options and found that the Bonjour option stop's working once you switch back to wireless but the HP IP Queue contenues to work great wired or wireless.

Sorry This Printer does not have e-print and  wireless capability .To send print job through your ipad requires e-print capability and not necessarily wireless enabled printer  .

  • How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

    How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are  XP,Vista & 7.
    Thanks
    Leon

    Unplug the USB cable from the printer.  Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
    Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.  Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.

  • Wireless network management solution

    We are running a pilot project to deploy a centralize wireless solution for our campus. The pilot consists of only about 20 Cisco1200 access points. We are in need of Network Management solution to manage these access points. The NMS would have to pretty much behave like what we already have into place for our wired networks such as: alerts on snmp traps, thresholds settings, data capture, administration,etc, in general be able to proactively check possible shortcomings on the infrastructure and help to troubleshoot problems. Once we fully deploy the centrally controlled wireless network, there could be any way from 1200 to 1500 access points, so whichever system we choose must be able to scale to these numbers.
    I’m interested in knowing which wireless network management solutions are the preferred one from the audience on this forum. Your input will help me to narrow down possible options.
    Thanks a lot for any information.

    I would suggest that you go for the WLSE. CiscoWorks WLSE is a centralized, systems-level application for managing and controlling an entire Cisco Aironet WLAN infrastructure. For more information on this read

  • TS1398 My wireless password in only 6 lowercase letters, but my iPod touch requires me to enter 8 before allowing me to join.  Therefore it will not let me log on to the wireless network, any solutions?

    My wireless password in only 6 lowercase letters, but my iPod touch requires me to enter 8 before allowing me to join.  Therefore it will not let me log on to the wireless network, any solutions?

    What encryption are you using on the router?
    If WEP you have to set the router to use the first key and you have to enter the first key as the password on the iPod. See:

  • New tip trick for capturing scanned images to the PB from your wireless network printer

    I've read a couple of threads here and on crackberry about not being able to print directly to a printer on the local network (although there is a way to print via the cloud from gmail apparently). Anyway it occurred to me that I can browse to my printer's IP address and in addition to allowing me to configure it, it also lets me scan documents to jpg, pdf, and tiff formats and then renders the scanned image through the browser. I tried this from the Playbook browser and it worked perfectly. i was able to view and save the scanned document directly to my Playbook file system. Even more conveniently I could just take a screenshot of the browser window. Now if only the printer would let me print the scan or better yet browse to and upload a local file for print my printing problems would be solved. I am using an older HP 2500 psc. Does anyone know of a newer model wireless/network printer that allows printing via the browser interface?

    Just to clarify. When your playbook and the wireless printer are on the same network, you can browse to the IP address of the wireless printer from your playbook just as you could from your PC or laptop. The browser will display the printer's web features which in my case includes the ability to scan the document that is laying on the scanner bed of the printer. When I click the scan button, the image of the scanned document renders on my playbook and I am able to save the rendered TIFF, JPG, PDF to the playbook locally or I can even just take a screenshot (press the playbook's volume up and down buttons simultaneously) and then the image of the document from the browser window automatically saves to the camera folder under pictures.
    What I would like is to find a wireless printer that from the web page that is displayed when I browse to the printers local IP address be able to browse to a file on my playbook and upload it to the printer (kind of like uploading or attaching a document to a gmail email message or uploading a local picture to Facebook etc...) and then instruct the printer to print the document. Obviously this would only work when I was on the same local wireless network as the printer but it would essentially solve the "how to print directly to a wireless printer from the playbook?" question.

  • HP Photosmart Premium c309g wireless network printing problem with 64bit Windows 7

    A problem exists where the c309g is installed on a wireless network where one of the PCs on the network is running 64bit Windows 7.  Amongst other things, the printer may print very slowly, appear disconnected or unavailable through the HP Solutions Centre and may not be pingable from any of the PCs on the network.  The problem will affect ALL the PCs on the network !
     Network monitoring software will also show an enormous level of network traffic between the printer and the Windows 7 PC.  As soon as the Windows 7 PC is switched off, everything returns to normal. 
    The problem is solved by disabling the HP Network Devices Support Service on the Windows 7 PC as follows;
    Run services.msc from the Run command on the Windows 7 PC.  This will display the list of all the local services running on the PC together with Description, Status and Startup Type information for  each.
    Scroll down the list until you see the HP Network Devices Support Service.
    Right click on it and select Properties to bring up the Properties window.
    Use the dropdown list to Change the Startup Type to Disabled.
    Once disabled, the printer will start to work normally.  HP are aware of this problem which may be unique to the 64bit version of Windows 7.

    Thanks but no luck... I tried it..... Got back from son's baseball game.. checked on printer - as in tried to have printer print something... nothing...   prior to going out I went ahead and deleted the 6  c309 print devices and reinstalled a new one and got the printer to work...  after the game it was back to ignoring print commands...  When I go to printers there again are 6 print devices for this printer - one titled HP Photsmart Premium C309 g-m... then 4 copies of that and then one version titled HP0AC58C (HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m).
    As I just finished writting that... the printer came alive and started printing some previous jobs... so maybe it helped - not sure but what about the 6 versions of print devices?   I just checked the statuses of all the versions and the default is offline... the various copies have different amounts in que but have a pending status of pending deletion...  When I tried to make one of the other copies the default printer - it errors out with  0x00000709

  • Wireless Network Printing; "Network is Busy", Cannot ping printer from my Macbook Pro

    I have a MBP (Mac OSX 10.6.8, Intel i7) connected wirelessly to a Actiontec Q1000 wireless router.  The wireless router has a printer connected via a LAN ethernet cable.  I am able to log in to the router (192.168.0.1) and see the printer (192.168.0.8), and from the router's Utilities I can ping the printer using the router's ping tool.  I am unable to ping the printer from my MBP.  I am unable to log into the printer's IP address by typing in 192.168.0.8 in my browser window.
    I also have a Windows laptop connected to the same wireless network.  From the router, I can see the Window's laptop (192.168.0.10) and the Windows laptop can ping the printer (again, 192.168.0.8).  Additionally, from the Windows laptop I can log into the printer's IP address by typing in 192.168.0.8 in my browser window.
    The printer is a Dell 1700n and I am using the "Generic Postscript Printer Driver".  I am able to delete the printer, and then add it back in as a USB connected printer and print fine.  I then delete the printer and add it back in as a network printer (192.168.0.8) and am then unable to print.  I am getting an error that says "Network is busy, will retry in ___ seconds".  I then get a error message that says the "Printer is busy".
    Using the MBP's "Network Utility's" ping tab, I am able to ping the router (192.168.0.1), the other Windows laptop (192.168.0.10), my Roku (192.168.0.7), etc.  I am unable to ping the printer (192.168.0.8).
    From my Window's CMD prompt, I am able to ping the router (192.168.0.1), my MBP (192.168.0.5), my Roku (192.168.0.7) and the printer (192.168.0.8).  I am also able to print wirelessly from my Window's laptop (192.168.0.10).
    I have looked for a CUPS printer driver for my Dell 1700n printer, but there is only a CUPS printer driver for the Dell 1710n printer (which is different).
    I have also googled around and found that the Dell 1700n is an old Lexmark E322 printer, so I installed the CUPS Lexmark E322 printer driver.  I then try to print wirelessly from my MBP and nothing.
    This is clearly a network MBP issue, and I have searched the forums but have been unable to track down a solution.  I would appreciate anyone's help to enable me to:
    1.  Be able to ping my printer (192.168.0.8),
    2.  Be able to log in to my printer via a web browser (http://192.168.0.8), and
    3.  Be able to print wirelessly to the printer from my MBP.
    Does anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance,
    MC

    So I spent almost 3 hours on a share session with Lexmark, who I must say I was incredibly impressed with their patience.  Long story short, my wife and I have the exact same MBPs.  Her MBP was printing fine to the same printer.  The tech and I verified that all of our network settings were identical.  At the end of the day, the solution was power cycling the router.  Poof.  Magic.  No idea why the power cycle worked, but it worked and I now have a solution.  Let me know if anyone has any questions about all of the steps in between.

  • Wireless Network Printing via HH2 to a Print Serve...

    My HomeHub 2 runs with my with my desktop PC under Win XP Pro SP3 with an HP Photosmart
    D5160 .   I decided to try and provide a simple home wireless network using a TP-Link WPS510U
    wireless print server.  My HH2 is Ethernet connected to the desktop and the router provides the
    wireless link to the print server.
    The D5160 provides bidirectional communication when installed and using a direct USB cable
    connection to the desktop PC and everything works as expected.
    Using the print server I just get basic printing with no feedback to the PC.  In fact, using the HP Utility Solution Centre and checking Settings /Status I am told the D5160 is disconnected!!
    Is it possible to make this wireless link work correctly with two-way communication?
    Am I missing something in the set-up that doesn't allow the bidirectional wireless communication via router plus server,  but does when the printer has its own internal wireless circuits?
    If I have instead an self-contained wireless printer will this provide the full two-way communcation via the router?
    Looking at Control Panel/Printers and Faxes/HP Photosmart D5160 and clicking on Ports tab I have in the list of 14 ports (LPT, COM, FILE, USB001, etc) plus
    DOT4_001    HP Photosmart D5160 Printer
    IP_192.168.1.10-2    Standard TCP/IP Port    HP Photosmart D5160
    This last one is ticked and the Enable Bidirectional Support box is also ticked.
    I can also go 'Run/cmd/DOS window'  and 'ping 192.168.1.10' and get the replies from the printer.
    Thanks in anticipation of any advice.

    Wireless will not be able to provide a full bi-directional interface, as its not designed to do that. Printer status relies on a physical hardware connection over a USB or parallel port (old printers), to allow the printer to be interrogated and its status returned.
    Also, if you use a printer plugged into the USB port of the HH2, you will get the same problem.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

    Hi WetSteve,
    You can setup your printer with google cloudprint. You can find a youtube video here on how to register
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMPVleNyWlQ&feature=youtu.be
    Once your printer is connected to the PC\Laptop and logged into google on your S5 you should be able to print

  • Wireless network security solution

    Hello All!
    I'm looking to protect wireless network from possible network and malware attacks, bandwidth usage monitoring and content filtering.
    Will Cisco IPS 4300-4500 series do the job? How about software solution (Cisco IOS Intrusion Prevention System)?
    I would appreciate you thoughts and suggestions.

    Is this a router that is supplied by your ISP?  Is it a DSL or FIOS service?
    If so, let's reinstall the printer in this manner:
    - Unplug the Internet line that runs between the router and the wall
    - Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
    - Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the router.
    - Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
    - On that screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know, use the current IP address.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router IP (its on the self-test printout) in the Gateway and first DNS field, leave the second blank.
    - Click 'Apply'
    - Finally, plug in the Internet line, reboot the router and test.

    Hi Again,
    Question? You say you use wireless to the Hub... is the Home Hub you have wireless? Or just a hub? If your computer has WiFi, and I believe it does, it should be able to see "A" Printer plugged into a WiFi hub like Airport. If it is just a hub with no WiFi, then the USB plug will not do it. You can use the printer remotely with WiFi on "Both Ends"... not just one. I have found that with mine, the 'Scan' does not work remotely (needs to be plugged in the computer wired) (all else does). This is my 3 printer hooked up this way, but my hub is an Airport Extreme, and the computer has Airport Extreme to talk with the printer... wirelessly.
    At work there is wireless all over... and with my home computer I can pick-up all the varied printers on WiFi... so it does see them... from inkjet to laser.
    If that is the missing link, then a printer with built-in WiFi may be your answer. If you want to go with a wireless base station, that would open the door to many more options.
    Enjoy

  • Wireless Network/printing Newbie Questions....

    Okay, first of all I love Airport and OSX Tiger on my new MacBook. I recieve a strong wireless internet connection in my Los Angeles apartment, and I have NO idea where it's coming from! (my neighbors? The police station across the street,? Just in the air?!?)
    I want a wireless printer. My apple store highly recommended either an Airport Extreme or Express with a printer attached to the USB port...
    My question is this: If I just buy a laser printer with built in wireless (802.11b/g) network capability (say the HP LaserJet 1022NW), can I just set up my MacBook to communicate directly to the printer with Airport via the 802.11b/g standard? I notice the Airport menu gives me a "Create Network" option...?
    Is it this easy?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I notice the Airport menu gives me a "Create Network" option...?
    This option is for creating computer-to-computer (ad-hoc) networks utilizing either the AirPort menu or Internet Connect for creating and connecting to this type of network.
    It may be possible for a wireless printer, which supports the "ad-hoc" network type, to connect to the "computer-to-computer" network. (With "ad-hoc," as opposed to an "infrastructure" network type, the wireless network would not require a router or access point.)

  • Wireless network printing from macbook to windows XP

    We have a wireless router (netgear) setup with 3 XP computers. A canon i900d printer is directly connected to the main computer. All computers share the internet and printer perfectly. I have the macbook recognizing the network and sharing the internet. And after two days of reading these forums and making changes I finally got the macbook to recognize the computer on the network that has the printer. I still can't get the macbook to show my true printer model and had to choose one of the ?gimp-print? models.The macbook prints but......
    Now the problem is the pages print to about 1/4 scale.
    I checked the preferences and they are set to 100%.
    I downloaded the driver directly from canons website.
    What now???

    Well, i have seem to isolated the issue..I can't find the EXACT gutenprint driver for the printer. It's not listed in the driver drop down list..With my printer at home that wirelessly prints fine to my xp computer, i have the exact driver listed and installed. What really drives me crazy, is that this printer is fully supported by leopard if its plugged into the USB port! It detects and prints perfectly..but there just isnt a supported driver to print from the mac over the wireless network to the xp PC.. From my searching, there may be a way to use another 3rd party driver using ghostscript, but all this mac stuff is new to me, so it's a bit beyond my mac skills for now...

  • Windows wireless network printing

    I have a windows wireless XP network with multiple PCs which all print to a single HP Deskjet 5650 printer connected to one of the PCs via USB. I also have a new Powerbook G4 (V 10.4) which talks to the network with no problem. I can connect to the internet and view shared files on the PCs. But I can't print. I have downloaded and installed Ghostscript V7.07.1 and HPIJS V 2.0.2.
    The correct driver shows up in printer setup utility and the system allows me to configure it as a windows printer. But when I try to print to it, I get an error "unable to connect to SAMBA host, will try again in 60 sec..." What is the problem?

    I appreciated your answer to the question posed by another person, and I thought it would work for me. I went through the whole process, but no luck at the end. The only variables, I think, are that I'm working with the new MacBook Pro on one end, and the HP LaserJet 1220 on the other, with a Dell notebook in the middle, attached to the printer and running on the wireless network. The MacBook also works on the same wireless network and can see the Dell and the printer, but I can't get anything to print from the MacBook. Any idea what's wrong? Incidentally, the same LaserJet does print well when I attach it directly to the MacBook via USB.
    Thanks for any tips.
